The Shake Up

Category: Spoken Word

The ShakeUp is back with a new format, host, and feel. The program aims to bridge the gap between academia and lived experience in activist spaces hosted by Georgina Colthurst. It is a casual sit down interview style program that aims to deconstruct ideas about gender, race, class, sexuality, and so much more. Focusing on the LGBTQ+ history in Windsor-Essex, bringing in activists who directly influenced the local gay liberation movement, specifically the late Jim Davies founder of Windsor Gay Unity and the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG: a University of Windsor funded grassroots organization.) The show will feature his close friends and family as they recount their memories of Jim, his life's work and impact on the Windsor Community.
